By "multi-ringed canes," I suppose you mean concentrically-layered cased canes.
I really discourage "frit" (and consequently "frit-flakes," within the working of glass products. Frit is a product that is produced in the manufacture of glass. And it is not an end product. If beadmakers would just say "fritted glass" this would partly alleviate the issue. But the product that is referred to is not "frit." It is pulverized glass.
Also, in the arena of ancient beads, the specimens that are identified as "frit" are probably mostly or entirely just highly-decayed glass. And the concept of "frit" in this context is a mistaken idea related to the arena of faience manufacture.
